Abstract
In the ever challenging business of livestock production, producers are consistently looking for options to improve performance and profitability. Staying current with innovative technology and new information can be overwhelming and time consuming. Producers are constantly bombarded both on the internet and in trade journals with new looks at technology and production management decisions. Universities and industry are constantly developing and researching new ways to improve performance or solve underlying issues. Producers looking for new ways to improve efficiency they prefer to work with an agency or individual they trust. Especially when it comes to changes involving technology and production management decisions. The county agents worked to create a regionally relevant workshop for area livestock producers in Southeastern New Mexico. Live workshops are preferred by many producers, with demonstrations especially when it comes to new technology. Which is what the agents did by bringing specialists and other experts that have personally utilized the technology they were demonstrating. The agents opened discussions on E-Collars and Virtual Fencing applications, Remote Water Monitoring, Range Weed Management, Antimicrobial Updates, Beef Cattle Marketing, and updates from the New Mexico Beef Council.
